I recently found a site of incredible content regarding every type of plucked string instrument in the world (Yes, the WORLD!), except one - our beloved CBG's. I dropped a line to Mr. Henny de Bruin who owns and runs the site http://www.atlasofpluckedinstruments.com/index.htm. This is the message I sent him and I included a few pictures as well:
Tags:
No mountain dulcimers, stick dulcimers or dulcijos.
No diddley bows and no canjos, either.
He obviously needs to visit CBN to keep up with what's happening in the West.
Awesome site. It could be organized better, since you don't always find things where you expect them to be. Mountain dulcimers are in there. http://www.atlasofpluckedinstruments.com/steelguitars.htm Go to the very bottom.
The McNally strumstick is also in there, http://www.atlasofpluckedinstruments.com/miscellany.htm , a little more than halfway down.
Rand,
That's why I contacted him to include our creations. And as Ryan said, the mountain dulcimers and strumsticks are there. Mr. de Bruin will iclude all those missing, I'm sure, once he sees all the variations that we have created.

Thanks, Ryan & Hal.
I found the McNally's strumstick. Hopefully they can include a list of the 30+ different names for this kind of instrument plus my favored generic name: stick dulcimer. The instrument will never gain the recognition it deserves when it is called so many different things. Some photos showing the variety of forms should also be included.
I also found mountain dulcimers under"Steel Guitars". Here's that link. He includes some European antecedents of the mountain dulcimer as well.
-Rand.
Good work Hal.... how on earth had we been missed? ;o)
I found an oil can guitar listed though, under the African name 'Ramkie'
Well, we have arrived! Take a look at the inclusion of CBG's in the ATLAS at: http://www.atlasofpluckedinstruments.com/miscellany.htm and be sure to let Mr. de Bruin know your thoughts!
